I won't even read the mess of replies but will say that I have a Husky
(Rancher 55) and am extremely pleased with how it operates. By far the
best saw I've ever owned. You'll be more than pleased with one I'm
sure. FWIW, Sears (and Lowes) sell Husky's so you may get a decent
discount on one.

woodworking there is a quite a large population that use chainsaws.

I am looking at buying the Husky 460 with a 24" bar for general use
and to use in some of my woodworking endeavors. I want to use it to
harvest some wood for different small projects, but also for bowl
blanks as well as firewood.
